Chapter 659: The Truth
Jiang Ping saw that Zhang Chenlin hadn't spoken yet, and shook his head lightly: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." But...... I've paid off the balance I owe and increased the overdraft limit on my credit card, so I can continue to use it if you need it. Don't think too much about it, if I get an overdraft limit, I will continue to increase the limit, don't worry!"
Just a second ago, Zhang Chenlin was still stubbornly biting his lip and swearing not to tell Jiang Ping about the trouble he encountered. However, after hearing his words, Zhang Chenlin only felt a sour heart, and the tears could no longer hold back, flowing down his smooth cheeks and falling on the table drop by drop.
Jiang Ping, who saw this scene, immediately knew that Zhang Chenlin had indeed encountered a big incident, so he hurriedly grabbed her shoulder and said softly: "Do you still need to hide anything between us? What happened, tell me about it!"
Zhang Chenlin was originally determined not to tell Jiang Ping about this, but seeing that her sweetheart cared so much about her and was so considerate, it also made her heart warm as if it was about to melt, and she unconsciously changed her original intention.
"My brother's family is in some trouble. After the waiter brought the food, Zhang Chenlin lowered his head and said softly: "My brother has been in some trouble recently, and I have to use that card as a last resort to help him." Not to mention that I was afraid that I would feel annoyed if I let you know, but I didn't expect ......"
Hearing this, Jiang Ping smiled and said, "I'm talking stupid things again, your business is my business, how can I be annoyed?"
Zhang Chenlin smiled embarrassedly at Jiang Ping, and then said softly: "I'm just an ordinary woman, and I can't help you in any way, so ...... I really don't want to trouble you. ”
"Don't do that again. You're welcome between you and me. Otherwise, it's too boring. Jiang Ping comforted Zhang Chenlin softly. Then he looked at her and said, "You rarely talk about your own family, tell me what trouble your brother has encountered?"
"My brother has been very nice to me since I was a child. Speaking of his brother Zhang Chenlin's pretty face, he also showed a warm look, and whispered to Jiang Ping: "When I was a child, our family was poor, and my brother took the initiative not to study anymore after graduating from junior high school, but gave me the opportunity to study in college. He said that he was a man and could eat by working hard, and that I was better off reading more books as a girl in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chenlin's eyes flashed with tears. After a while, he continued: "Actually, my brother has very good grades, and he has always been in the top few in school, and he can be admitted to a key high school and then go to college." He did it...... It's all for me. ”
Jiang Ping is also a brother who is also a brother, and he also admires Zhang Chenlin's brother's behavior very much, and can't help nodding and saying: "Your brother is really good to you, when you are free, let's go and see him together." In the future, no matter what happens to him, you can tell me, as long as you can help, there will be no second words!"
Jiang Ping's attitude made Zhang Chenlin very happy, smiled at him and continued: "My brother lost the opportunity to study because of me. I stayed at home and farmed. In recent years, I have often given my brother the salary I have saved, and he has slowly contracted a piece of land in the eastern suburbs. A vegetable base was built. At present, there are more than a dozen greenhouses in the vegetable base, and there are also a number of fixed customers, which is becoming more and more prosperous. ”
"This is a good thing!" Jiang Ping said happily: "But then why did your brother suddenly have an accident and spend so much money?"
Zhang Chenlin lowered his head and said: "Isn't it because the Piero family began to invest in Su City, my brother's vegetable base happened to be included in the planning scope!"
Hearing Zhang Chenlin say this, Jiang Ping also suddenly remembered that as long as the Piero family was mentioned in front of her recently, Zhang Chenlin's reaction would be a little strange. Jiang Ping didn't think much about it at the time, and now it seems that the reason why she is like this is also for a reason.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile at Zhang Chenlin: "Actually, you should have told me about this a long time ago, you also know that I have a good relationship with the Piero family, as long as I go to say hello, your brother's problem will be easily solved." ”
Zhang Chenlin shook his head lightly and said, "I just don't want you to be embarrassed, so I haven't told you." And...... The Piero family is very arrogant, even if you really say it, it won't be of much use!"
Seeing that Zhang Chenlin had a deep prejudice against the Piero family, Jiang Ping was also a little surprised, and he didn't know why she had such an impression. However, Jiang Ping didn't say much, but motioned for Zhang Chenlin to continue.
"It stands to reason that since my brother's vegetable base has been included in the planning scope, there is nothing to say about relocation, as long as the conditions are negotiated, we can move. Zhang Chenlin said indignantly: "But the conditions proposed by the Piero family are too harsh, and the compensation fee given per mu of land is only 550 yuan! This amount of money is not enough to rebuild a vegetable greenhouse on one acre of land, not to mention the cost of re-leasing land and relocateing, which is too far away!"
I didn't expect the compensation fee to be so low, and Jiang Ping was also deeply surprised. He had the impression that although the Piero family was a predator in the business world, they had always been more interested in some of the more established competitors. And ordinary people like Zhang Chenlin's brother, on the contrary, they will be treated more preferentially, and they should not deduct from such trivial matters - this is not to say that the Piero family does not pursue greater profits, but because with their current status, they really can't afford to lose this person!
However, Jiang Ping believed that Zhang Chenlin would never lie to himself, so he immediately frowned and said: "This Piero family is too much, it seems that I have to talk to the person in charge of their investment this time!"
"Don't mess around!" Knowing that Jiang Ping was not talking nonsense, Zhang Chenlin hurriedly reminded him: "People are world-famous large companies, and there is the support of the municipal government, we ...... I can't fight anyone else!"
The reason why Zhang Chenlin said this is, of course, because she didn't know the real relationship between Jiang Ping and the Piero family. It is no exaggeration to say that if Jiang Ping went to John Piero now and told him that if the investment in Sioux City continued, it would threaten the survival of the entire family, and John Piero would definitely not hesitate to stop all investments, even if he had to pay a large amount of compensation for it.
Seeing that Zhang Chenlin cared so much about herself, Jiang Ping also gave her a relieved smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't mess around." By the way, are you overdrawing your credit card to help your brother rebuild the vegetable base? If so, I can take out another amount of money, which is definitely not a problem!"
Zhang Chenlin sighed softly, looked at Jiang Ping affectionately, and said, "I know you are good to me, but ...... If it was just to help my brother rebuild the vegetable base, I would never use that card!"
Jiang Ping was even more curious at this time, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "Why is that?"
"Something happened to my brother. Speaking of this, Zhang Chenlin's mood became depressed again, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Because the compensation conditions for the relocation of the vegetable base cannot be negotiated, he has not moved, and the other party gave my brother an ultimatum a while ago, saying that if he does not move out within a week, then he will bear the consequences!"
Jiang Ping frowned and said, "This is threatening your brother, they really did this?"
Zhang Chenlin nodded lightly and said, "At that time, my brother didn't care too much, after all, the two sides didn't sign an agreement, and the other party shouldn't make any excessive moves." However, what he didn't expect was that a week later, a large number of people came to the door and drove bulldozers, which really wanted to raze his vegetable base to the ground!"
Listening to Zhang Chenlin's words, Jiang Ping also shook his head lightly and sighed. It's still 2003, and there aren't many similar things happening, which is why it's particularly sensational. If it was ten years later, Zhang Chenlin's brother would definitely not take such a threat seriously.
"The vegetable base is my brother's brainchild, so he was in a hurry immediately. Zhang Chenlin continued: "At that time, my brother was holding a shovel to fight with the other party, but there were many people on the other side, and he was injured instead. ”
Jiang Ping suddenly realized: "I know, you used that card to treat your brother's injuries, right? Is he seriously injured, do you want me to contact a better hospital and ask a few experts to do a consultation or something for him?"
Seeing that Jiang Ping cared so much about his brother, Zhang Chenlin was also sweet in his heart, smiled at him and shook his head: "No need, in fact, my brother's injury is not very serious, and there is no big problem at present, it's just ...... He also wounded several people during the clashes, and that was the biggest problem. ”
Hearing that Zhang Chenlin's brother also injured several people, Jiang Ping couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hey, I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be quite fierce, not bad, I admire it." ”
Zhang Chenlin glanced at Jiang Ping angrily and said, "It's all like this, are you still in the mood to laugh! My brother and I have already paid hundreds of thousands of yuan in advance for medical expenses and compensation, and they are still not satisfied, and they also said that if the compensation is not in place, they will call the police to arrest my brother." My brother can be regarded as deliberately hurting people if he says this, if the other party really calls the police, he will go to jail!"
"Cut, it's obvious that the other party wants to forcibly bulldoze your brother's vegetable base, he is just legally defending himself, what kind of intentional injury?" Jiang Ping pouted disdainfully and said: "When it comes to the edge of the sky, your brother is also in charge, I can't do it, the other party can really turn the sky upside down!"
Zhang Chenlin said worriedly: "That's right, but I heard that the other party has a very deep background, and this demolition is strongly supported by the city, I'm afraid that if it really goes to court, my brother will suffer." ”
"Don't be afraid, leave this matter to me!" Jiang Ping comforted Zhang Chenlin with confidence: "If you anger me, just one sentence will stop the entire investment and see who is unlucky in the end!"
Jiang Ping didn't say this in a word, but he was completely sure. As long as he told the John Piero father and son that investing in Sioux would jeopardize the future of the Piero family, John Piero would definitely stop investing immediately. As for the losses and compensation caused by this, the Piero family can also afford it. (To be continued.) )
